Eight days for the _diaulos_ [27] of the journey, and two, suppose, for getting up a public meeting, composed a cycle of _ten_ before an act received its commentary, before a speech received its refutation, or an appeal its damnatory answer.

It is no matter of wonder or complaint that a paper written by a correspondent a distance of four hundred miles, or something more, from the press, requiring, therefore, a _diaulos_ of above eight hundred miles for every letter and its answer, a distance which becomes strictly infinite in the case when the correspondent sends no answer at all, should exhibit some press errors.
